Psalm 88:12-31 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. Yours are the heavens, and yours is the earth. You founded the whole world in all its fullness.

13. You created the north and the sea. Tabor and Hermon will exult in your name.

14. Your arm acts with power. Let your hand be strengthened, and let your right hand be exalted.

15. Justice and judgment are the preparation of your throne. Mercy and truth will precede your face.

16. Blessed is the people that knows jubilation. They will walk in the light of your countenance, O Lord,

17. and they will exult in your name all day long, and they will be exalted in your justice.

18. For you are the glory of their virtue, and in your goodness, our horn will be exalted.

19. For our assumption is of the Lord, and it is of our king, the holy one of Israel.

20. Then you spoke in a vision to your holy ones, and you said: I have stationed help with the powerful one, and I have exalted the elect one from my people.

21. I have found my servant David. I have anointed him with my holy oil.

22. For my hand will assist him, and my arm will fortify him.

23. The enemy will have no advantage over him, nor will the son of iniquity be positioned to harm him.

24. And I will cut down his enemies before his face. And those who hate him, I will turn to flight.

25. And my truth and my mercy will be with him. And his horn will be exalted in my name.

26. And I will place his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.

27. He will invoke me: "You are my father, my God, and the support of my salvation."

28. And I will make him the first-born, preeminent before the kings of the earth.

29. I will preserve my mercy for him eternally, and my covenant for him faithfully.

30. And I will set his offspring from generation to generation, and his throne like the days of heaven.

31. But if his sons abandon my law, and if they do not walk in my judgments,
